EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of nobility in the 9th century. Based on an original manuscript illustration found in Charles le Chauve's bible, this 19th-century version is a testament to the enduring beauty of historical art. Held by the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this exquisite piece is a part of Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance, a renowned publication by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud. In this scene, we see noblewomen adorned in elegant attire seated side by side. Their regal presence is enhanced by their magnificent headdresses and headscarves that exude sophistication and grace. Clad in intricately designed shawls and dresses, these women epitomize timeless fashion. One woman stands out as she engrosses herself in reading, showcasing her intellectual pursuits amidst her noble status. The row of ladies symbolizes unity among women from privileged backgrounds who shared similar experiences during that era. The monochrome engraving adds depth to the image while preserving its historical authenticity. This remarkable print serves as a window into an era long gone but not forgotten—a tribute to the nobility and refinement that defined society centuries ago.
